About this game
Bark Shepherd is a cartoon herding game with real flock physics. Your sheep stick together, drift apart and panic exactly like sheep do. They flee from you and scatter from your bark, so position is everything: get behind the flock and push it into the pen, one brave woof at a time. Wolves stalk the strays — bark them into retreat or park yourself between fang and fluff. Ten fields from a sleepy six-sheep meadow to a three-wolf storm, and every lost lamb is gone for good. Drag to run, tap to bark, and always count your flock.
How to play
Drag or arrows to run. Tap the screen or the WOOF button to bark — sheep scatter outward from the shockwave. Pen the required number of sheep to clear each field.
Tips & Tricks
- Bark behind the flock, never into it: shockwaves push sheep away from you.
- Corner sheep against fences — walls do half your herding for free.
- Stand between the wolf and the flock: your presence alone turns it away.
- Penned sheep are safe forever. Park the nervous ones early.
Frequently asked questions
How does herding work?
Sheep flee from you and from your bark. Circle behind the flock and the whole boids group drifts away from you — toward wherever you point by positioning.
What do wolves do?
They chase the nearest sheep outside the pen and eat it on contact. Bark or stand close and they flee to the far side for a while.
Can I lose a field?
Yes. If too many sheep are eaten to reach the quota, the field fails and the run ends with partial score.
Do penned sheep ever leave?
Never. Once a sheep settles in the pen it stays counted and safe for the rest of the field.
